Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 10 July 2008
108 Deputy Noel J. Coonan asked the Minister for Health and Children her plans to reinstate the Borrisoleigh community welfare officer to Borrisoleigh, County Tipperary in view of the fact that the officer is currently operating from Templemore; the timeframe for the move; the reason that this has not occurred; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

View answerSubject to overall parameters set by Government, the Health Service Executive has the responsibility for determining the composition of its staffing complement. In that regard, it is a matter for the Executive to manage and deploy its human resources to best meet the requirements of its Annual Service Plan for the delivery of health and personal social services to the public. The Executive is the appropriate body to consider the matter raised by the Deputy. My Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have the matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
